The National Library of Finland is conducting since 2012 until late 2016 a major digitization project on the cultural heritage of Finno-Ugric minorities:

“The project will produce digitized materials in the Uralic languages as well as their development tools to support linguistic research and citizen science. The resulting materials will constitute the largest resource for the Uralic languages in the world. Through this project, researchers will gain access to corpora which they have not been able to study before and to which all users will have open access regardless of their place of residence.” Continue reading Digitization project on textual materials of Finno-Ugric population groups→

The MinoRecs-Blog serves as communication infrastructure for librarians, archivists and humanities researchers who are involved or leading in the process of digitizing the cultural heritage of historical ethnical minorities. MinoRecs provides them with the possibility to present their projects, to announce scientific events, inform about new technologies, debate new strategies and to establish new networks of international collaboration. By raising awareness for the issue the blog also intends to reach out to policy makers and media representatives and sensibilize the public for the urgent need to take into account the right of an ethnical minority to have its cultural heritage transferred and preserved in the digital world.
